Emily Carey talks about flashbacks in House of the Dragon Season 2

Netflix’s new adaptation Geek Girl stars Emily Carey. Recently, she had an interview with RadioTimes.com to promote her new show. When she was asked if she and Milly Alcock would turn up in a flashback in season 2, she replied:

“I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say, but I will say don’t get your expectations up!”

Emily Carey was also asked about her experience in House of the Dragon. She spoke about people’s opinions on Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon’s mammoth predecessor and how it impacted how the show was going to be received. She described her experience on the show as surreal and said:

“It still feels so surreal. When people talk about it, I have a weird disconnect to it. It was such a strange bubble, and it was very whirlwind. It had a start and a finish. Having the older versions take over [Carey was replaced by Olivia Cooke following a time jump], the attention and the eyes were then sent elsewhere, so I got a second to breathe.”

Emily Carey mentioned that fantasy wasn’t her genre as a viewer. This had fans doubting whether or not she is going to watch House of the Dragon season 2 even though Emily is not on the cast anymore. Emily thwarted these doubts by talking to RadioTimes.com:

“I probably will be watching, But mainly to support the cast. And I will say it’s not my genre. I’m not a huge fantasy fan. But the show is objectively incredible, and two of my good friends, Bethany Antonia and Harry Collett, are in the next season and have some incredible things going on, and so I’m excited to see them on screen.”
